RV Rental in Chicago (E Dundee), IL

If you are looking to rent an RV from the Northwest side of Chicago, then you are all set up. Cruise America has a rental center in the area, and can provide you with just the right class C motorhome to suit your needs. There are a host of things to do in the Windy City, and even more things to do in the surrounding area. Here are a few suggestions:

Navy Pier: For over a decade, the Navy Pier has been where locals meet vacationers to enjoy a day (or days) of fun and beauty on Lake Michigan. The historical pier is a tradition that continues to grow, with more and more to see and do each passing year. It is currently the home of the Cirque Shanghai show. If you arrive at the right time of the year, you will see the BigArt show, featuring the artistic talent of the world. Some of the world's most renowned sculpture artists as well as mural artists come to participate or have their entries on display. You will find anything from a 30-foot-tall Roy Lichtenstein sculpture to a towering sculpture made of canoes that are suspended over the park. You will also enjoy rides, attractions, boats and cruises, and various entertainment events all throughout the year.

While in Chicago, do not miss the Museum of Science and Industry. To walk into this menagerie of a museum is like walking into a different world. This is the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. You can watch live science experiments, explore full size ships and airplanes, watch as a tornado is created and an avalanche is purposely caused. There are exhibits like you have never seen before, such as Animals Inside Out, a stunning look at the animal world without skin. Experts are always on hand to help you should you require assistance in understanding what you are looking at.

North Chicago you may watch the Chicago Cubs play, and do some Anderson Boutique shopping. However, there is a north-side neighborhood called Andersonville, where you can go for great food and wonderful boutique shopping. This area is easily accessible by cab, but you don't need one because you have your rental motorhome from Cruise America. Don't miss the exquisite restaurants for a cultural diverse time.

The John Hancock Center on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago features a stunning black exterior that rises 100 stories into the air. The building stands 1,127 feet high. From the observatory up top, you can see a 360° view of the city, up to four different states, and up to 80 miles away.

The Chicago Botanical Gardens is located 20 miles north of Chicago. There you will see the colors and smell the fragrances of the season. The gardens opened about 40 years ago as a beautiful place to visit. It has now become one of the most visited premier living museums in the world. Over 1,000,000 visitors come to the gardens annually. People of all ages can visit and appreciate the gardens by taking classes or participating in some of the many educational activites.

Whether you are in the mood to park your rental RV and explore the downtown area of Chicago on foot, or by vehicle, you can be assured that there is plenty to see. You may wish to get out of town and go on some short excursions. No matter what you decide, you will have a blast in or out of one of our northwest Chicago Northwest motorhomes.
